Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Panthers: B-.

The Ben Sinnott selection is the head-turner. The Panthers reached 29 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Value said wait; Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 1 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 39th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 65th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Eboigbe. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They paid a round early for Braiden McGregor in pick 166, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A premium they did not need to pay, Solomon Byrd a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
